Lee and Lucy head out for some last-minute Christmas shopping and, as with every other errand in the Not Going Out household, it gets way out of hand. The bickering, loveable pair at the centre trade gags at the speed of a pub quiz team who know every answer. There's not much Christmas spirit saved, but plenty of laughs on the way. It's the sort of festive sitcom you can put on after the King's Speech and settle down with a mince pie for, joke-a-minute fun that never goes out of style.
